Is anybody concerned about the spyware built into windows 7???
I discovered this after a windows 7 update deleted a file that was important to me (overnight during a windows 7 upgrade). I searched the internet and found a site that mentioned that I could use free software that restores lost files on a HDD.
I wound up using Puran File Recovery which found over 1,000 power point files that had been deleted from my HDD. I never use power point and power point was not even installed on my computer. I went online to download a power point viewer. After installation I attempted to recover and read these files. Microsoft built in a marker so that their viewer could not decode these files. Back to the browser– there are other free file viewers that read power point files. It was at this point I discovered that windows 7 records things that Microsoft wants to keep track of on YOUR computer. Windows 7 gathers the info that Microsoft wants to know about you, puts it into a power point file, sends it to big brother and then deletes same from your HDD. Now that I have told you how its done, don’t you want to see what data Microsoft spies are watching you do??
Like I noted above, I found over 1,000 files that spies extracted from my computer—-Do you care about what they are learning about YOU???
